That said, I will always take a feeder who can throw into the scoring zone every time than one that can very accurately place tubes in the near midfield area. Once inside the scoring zone, for the better robots, it's only a matter of a few seconds to score.

I definitely agree that most importantly, a human player has to know where and what to throw. But nearly everyone can figure that out. What will distinguish the good from the excellent are consistency, accuracy and range.
